Description
Summary:	This research bridges this gap by identifying the essential features and functionalities construction professionals prioritize for effective object detection in real-time safety monitoring. By understanding these needs, this study guides the development of more practical and impactful object detection models, ultimately leading to enhanced safety monitoring and management. Through a questionnaire survey targeting 240 construction professionals, this study gathered insights into current safety management practices, practical considerations for technology implementation, and most importantly, the preferred features for object detection systems. The survey revealed an industry trend towards proactive safety management approaches, with a particular emphasis on features that enable real-time worker tracking and work environment monitoring. While acknowledging the potential benefits of object detection technology, professionals also highlighted concerns regarding data privacy, integration with existing systems, and implementation costs. This study addresses these concerns by emphasizing the need for user-focused, affordable, and seamlessly integrated object detection applications.
